This album is about as collaborative as any of us in Riot-Folk! have ever been. It was all recorded spontaneously at Sarah Lawrence College during our first convergence (the first time wed ever all been in the same place at the same time.) We locked ourselves in a room with a piano, a few guitars, a mandolin, some water and a bit of stolen dining hall food. During these hours we got to know each other musically and otherwise, and were excited to be able to share the results with you!
Unfortunately, Tom was not with us during the recording session, and since Ethan was doing most of the tech work, we didnt get a chance to record any of his-and-Kates songs. This is a pre-release of the album. Well probably do a little more mixing and fiddling with it, and have the artwork done soon. Enjoy!
